that would not be an obvious bow to draw from your comments, and frankly, and medical practitioners who are not looking at holistic health when presented with a patient are missing the point. However, you are so far off point on the tonsill

There are more than 35,000 tonsillectomies done in Australia every year (and more than half a million in the US). This is a highly routine procedure. In fact there is very clear guidelines on when GPS should refer for tonsillectomy: Tonsill

It has not been until recent times that any form of messing around the body was for any reason other than self preservation or the improvement of quality of life. I am talking post-enlightenment/age of reason medicine here, not dark a

Short sellers are acting on data and a worldview that is also how the long buyers are thinking of. short sellers are always going to completely tank. And there's a reasonable chance that things will. Regardless, there is a pretty stron

If you consider that the early jets (ie comet) had a tendency to disintegrate, and take a speculative view that rockets have largely been in the comet era for perhaps a prolonged period (40-50 years!) and take another speculative leap t

The bigger question which is still unaddressed is: with the growth in passenger traffic, will there be a return to hub and spoke, or can long and skinny win? Even if the a380 is dead, food for thought: In 5-10 years we may have a 300 per

It might make sense to you, but there is as yet no evidence for any of this, except more broad statements such as 'eating enormous bulk calories every day will probably kill you faster than not doing so'. What are you saying/

Your question needs re framing. The cell, and life by extension/function, is a reverse entropy machine. Is must be continually off centre in order to be able to go on generating its functions, such as enabling you to ask questions base

The example of Humira is a terrible one: as a monoclonal antibody, to produce the exact molecule would require another company getting its hands on the plasma cells that produce it. It is not as simple as copying the chemical steps to produ

What’s the point of the comparison? Model T manufacture started in 1908 and by the end of 1910 they had produced 12,000. By that comparison, model 3 is crushing it

Because all of those (western) countries where you can’t buy an assault rifle are such despotic hell holes? It’s a benefit to no one except the manufacturers, the merchants and the people who patch the injured up. And as someone who patches

That’s a false dichotomy. China is ostensibly commmunist but free market is alive and well (with heavy doses of state directed influence, but so as in other western countries, witness the military industrial complex) A truer dichotomy would

This is a false dichotomy. The layers don’t stop because you choose one: you are biological, because you’re chemical, because you’re physical (which is more like saying you’re electrical). Ie. Laws of physics govern the laws of chemistry an
